See this link for how to create a new identity in OE

You would set up the new identity identical to your current "default" settings and it should
seamlessly get your mail.
Then if all works well with the new identity, import your address book and old mail into the new
identity and delete the old identity.

I haven't tried that and not sure how I would go about doing that.

I did another restore only further back this morning and it is working again BUT
I don't will happen when I turn my computer off and back on again. I created a new restore
point for today when it was working.


Have you tried building a new identity?
Corrupt identities have shown some very strange problems.
